The book starts with an assessment of the state of the nation as it emerged from the Second World War and an introduction to each post-war administration including innovative 'government boxes' and cabinet photographs. 10 thematic chapters analyse the key aspects of postwar British politics and a concluding chapter assesses the main theories and debates.
